From booking to your road test — a clear, pressure-free path. Here's how a typical lesson flows.
Choose your lesson length and register online at ottawadrivingschool.com or call (613) 737-9595. Let us know your preferred pickup location and what you'd like to focus on.
Let us know your training preference — parking, lane changes, turns, road test preparation, or general confidence building. Request a male or female instructor if you have a preference.
Your instructor arrives at your pickup location in a dual-control automatic school vehicle. For G2 and G drivers, instruction can also be done in your own car at the same price.
Your instructor tailors the session entirely to your goals. Feedback is given throughout — not just at the end — so you improve with every turn.
At the end of your lesson, your instructor drops you off at your selected location and discusses your progress, areas to focus on, and whether additional lessons are recommended.
Whether you just got your G1 or you're preparing for your final G road test, our lessons are tailored to exactly where you are in your driving journey.
